Not my fault if people are anal perfectionists

Outside a very tiny group of deligent, awesome contributors people never gave a fuck about being able to contribute. The Quake community does not work like that.

help vampires.

having a better community in mind, but realised that people are assholes

You seem like such a lovely person, I wonder why so few people wanted to contribute to your website??? 

There are plans for rebuilding the whole map system
When you'll move from plans to action, there's one thing I wish Quaddicted would do:
Currently, when you're on the page of a multiple-authors release, you can only click ALL the authors' names at once. It would be nice to be able to click each name individually. 

Not possible because there is just one dumb string in the "author" field. 

Thanks anyway. 

I once had this idea to replace quake injector with a small app that is registered as a URL handler. Quaddicted would have a "play now" button which when clicked, launches a special URL, e.g. "quake://quaddicted.com/this_map". The URL would launch the app, which then would download the necessary metadata, download the map (and required mods, if possible), and launch a pre-configured quake engine with the required command line.

That would be great because the injector app could now skip the UI and handle only the downloading / launching part. Which is complicated enough already I imagine. 

https://github.com/hrehfeld/python-gpm is a python cmdline installer. Esp. https://github.com/hrehfeld/python-gpm/blob/master/gpm/quakebsp.py should be useful. 

Sleepy: Yeah! I think that was even part of my original design docs but memory might be off.

Maybe we should have a Great German Gettogether some day.

Anyways, back to life without func, it is a happier place. Take care. 

"And yes, it's pointless to discuss things regarding me here. There are some sociopaths here that just spread shit and negativity"

And yet, somehow, this is another fantastic year for Quake mapping across the board, old and new, modded and vanilla, simple and spectacular, individual and community (including this forum) driven.......... 

was a great author but a shitty human being. These traits aren't mutually exclusive.

You can't deny there sometimes is some toxicity around here. 

I know some other posts were a bit more personal but I wanted to re-iterate that Quaddicted is a tremendous resource AS IS. So warts and all you have a lot to be proud of and at least some of us do appreciate all the work that went and goes into the site. I would like to contribute and I appreciate you looking into the error that Bloughsburgh and I encountered. We'll keep our eyes peeled I am sure. 

 

Even if Quaddicted just sat there and was rarely updated, the contribution to the community over the years is just without parallel. The value of a stable, complete-as-possible archive of maps with screenshots and the ability to comment is also I think responsible to bringing new people into both playing and mapping to a greater extent than we usually recognize.

This is on total contrast to how Google, say, is currently eviscerating Youtube. 

Anytime! I think writing the app would be easy if the server has a simple interface for the app to use.

This is true and it's important to take a moment to appreciate it fully, because for some reason, it feels like the community is at a decline. But really it's not (I hope). 

Is what got me started on Quake mapping. Thank you Spirit for all you do. Never stop being awesome, never let naysayers get to you, always Keep on. I greatly appreciate your maps archive as one of greatest contributions to the Quake community.

The two pillars of Quake online: Func_ and Quaddicted. One for making, one for playing.

We may be a bit internet every now and then. We're all people on here. Pardon our attitudes, some of us just need to eat or take a nap. 

got me started on mapping, but Quaddicted showed me the richness of the Quake community content. 

a YouTube video of TB by uh... CustomGamer I think? 

Which browser do you use and which cookies are created when you login? Can you try with a different browser perhaps?

I might be slagging off Spirit's grumpiness but yeah Quaddicted has been great. The first resource I'd send people to who want quake maps. 

I tried Chrome at first, but then I used Firefox which I have not visited quaddicted on.

I just get the same links and information as dump's screenshots. I'll try again with IE11 because why not. 

It appears to be a bug in the system, not related to the browser. Could be that all users who signed up after a certain point lack the priviledges or something. Maybe introduced by some server upgrade or move.

Thanks for checking on it. 

This spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pOvZYeX_ThrAkVxgCEkCwuQPrQeSASGSmmqwyrqya6k/edit#gid=0 is missing at least five maps, as far as I can tell:

Block by Mickmaus https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=478
Naitelveni's three "Lulz" speedmaps (all released in March, I think)
Newhouse's sm179 map 

Can we make it to 100 maps in 2017?
